Cable joints for medium voltage – also called MV cable joints – connect underground electricity cables. Since electrification in the early 1900s, many developments have taken place, both in the field of cables and cable fittings. The role of cable joints quickly became crucial to allow the current to flow undisturbed through the cables.
Today, there are many types of cables in the ground. Where in the past people mainly installed paper lead cables, they now only use plastic-insulated cables.
Lovink Enertech developed a unique liquid silicone technology in the 1980s. We successfully apply these in the LoviSil® cable joints – such as our transition joints, connection joints and branch joints. The LoviSil® technology makes it possible to connect all types of cables within one socket concept, whereby all types of cables can be connected to each other…
- long-term moisture shielding is guaranteed;
- sustainable energy and grid reinforcement are not a problem;
- the risk of partial discharges is minimal;
- installation is easy, fast and flame-free;
- the cables will continue to function without interference for at least 40 years.

Medium-voltage sleeves for every situation
A reliable electricity grid requires reliable products. Cable joints not only connect the cables, but also have to protect the network for a long time.
For example, soil conditions often face many challenges: the presence of moisture in countries with high water levels or contaminated soil in industrial areas. In addition, the two-way traffic in the cable – as a result of the feed-back of sustainably generated energy – also provides the necessary adjustments.
Lovink’s cable joints offer the perfect solution for all these situations. We offer a complete range of cable joints with the best protection, a very low failure rate and suitable for future networks.
Our specialists have a lot of knowledge and experience. Worldwide, we are involved in advising energy companies on how they can protect their electricity grid in the long term by investing in reliable cable joints. At the end of the day, an investment in high-quality, future-proof assets always pays off.
The advantages of the LoviSil® technology
Investing in liquid technology wins in the long term over the shrinking technologies that are still widely used. LoviSil® is a silicone-based insulation that is resistant to high temperatures and has the inherent ability to suppress partial discharges. It is not for nothing that the cable joints based on liquid silicone have also been successfully tested at 2 bar water pressure. The LoviSil® cable joint also distinguishes itself from crimping technologies in terms of ease of assembly; flame-free and a minimum of mechanic-dependent actions.
LoviSil® joints are made up of modules. This makes the cable sleeve very flexible and universally applicable. In addition, the modular system offers logistical advantages because it is not necessary to keep separate cable joints in stock for each cable combination.
Discover our customer-specific solutions
We offer an extensive range of cable joints based on the LoviSil® concept. We have a solution for every cable connection. Almost any cable combination fits in one of our LoviSil® housings. This means that we often come up with economic solutions. Such as connecting a 3-single core connection in one cable joint instead of three. Together with you, we look at which cables need to be connected and which specifications the connection must meet.
